Get To Know Us

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Kindergarten/Preschool Programs

Our high-quality, play based preschool curriculum is delivered by Bachelor qualified Early Childhood Teachers. Our teachers tailor their programs to ensure all children develop the confidence and social and emotional skills needed for a smooth transition to school. Through play, our Early Childhood Teachers facilitate children’s learning of important language, literacy, numeracy and creative skills.

Benefits of Goodstart Kindergarten/Preschool programs:

  • Our programs are planned and led by qualified and experienced Early Childhood Teachers, in accordance with the Early Years Learning Framework
  • Our programs have the tick of approval, meaning they meet (and exceed) Government guidelines around learning in the year before school
  • Strong connections with local schools support our extensive transition to school programs
  • We offer greater flexibility and convenience for busy families with longer opening hours, five days a week, 52 weeks of the year.
  • We offer 9-hour, 10-hour and all-day sessions.
  • Nutritious meals are provided throughout the day, so there’s no need to pack lunch boxes.
Curriculum and programs

Curriculum and programs

The educators at Goodstart Early Learning follow an evidence-based curriculum that aligns with the Early Years Learning Framework. Informed by world-leading research, practices and techniques, the curriculum encourages the children’s natural curiosity and engages them in their learning journey.

As the children move through the different rooms in the centre, the curriculum evolves with them. The educators set goals for the children and celebrate as they reach their milestones. At every stage, the educators are tailoring the curriculum and goals to each child’s individual needs.

The curriculum involves different types of learning experiences and styles. From child-led learning to sessions guided by educators, the children participate in small and large group sessions as well as individual play. Most importantly, the children learn through play, developing social skills, confidence and independence in addition to more formal academic skills.

Parent communication and involvement

Parent communication and involvement

Goodstart Early Learning uses the StoryPark app to connect with parents throughout the day. The educators upload photos and stories to the secure app, which parents can access anytime and anywhere to track their child’s progress. 

The approach at the centre is very much based around partnership between families and educators. The educators work with the parents and carers to build strong relationships. They develop trust so the children can feel safe and secure while at the centre. Parents are also encouraged to share their insights and feedback with educators to add depth to the relationship.

The educators observe the children every day and tailor the program around their observations. They share these with parents, so they can feel connected to their child’s progress and also provide feedback that will further enhance their child’s learning experience.

Can’t fault these amazing educators at all and thank you to Deb for being so welcoming during our initial tour, she made us feel comfortable in bringing our child here. They’ve done a great job supporting my daughter the last 2 years with her learning and making her feel safe and loved. A special thanks to miss Jamie for her hard work. My daughter has developmental delays and has learnt so much with Jamie’s help! Tia, Komal, Kylie and Anul and big thank you to you ladies too for all of your support.

My child joined childcare for the first time at Goodstart Early Learning Springfield, and the educators who supported him during his settling-in journey were truly wonderful. They created such a caring, warm, and safe environment that my child became very comfortable and confident. I’m very grateful for the positive foundation they gave him. He learned a lot and developed a strong love for his kindy so much so that even on weekends he wants to go and proudly calls it “my school” whenever he sees the Goodstart logo. That says everything about how much he loves it.

Response from the owner 14 Jan 2026

Hi Harvinder, thank you so much for your beautiful review. We’re so glad your child’s first childcare experience at Goodstart has been such a positive one, and that our educators helped him feel safe, supported and confident as he settled in. It’s wonderful to hear how much he has learned and grown, and how proudly he calls it “my school” whenever he sees the Goodstart logo, that truly means the world to our team. Thank you again for your kind words and trust.
